Objectives

RRS Discovery cruise 262 was the second of four cruises supported by the NERC Marine Productivity (MarProd) thematic programme.
The specific objectives of the cruise were: 1) To map the physical features of the survey region (Irminger Sea and parts of the Iceland Basin) in terms of water mass distribution, velocity field and mixed layer properties; 2) Obtain additional information to estimate future water mass fluxes and particle trajectories, via the deployment of additional floats; 3) Collect water samples for plant pigment and microscopic analyses, to estimate the biomass of different taxonomic/functional groups of microplankton; 4) Measure high resolution profiles of inorganic nutrient concentrations; 5) Determine the 3D abundance of the mesoplankton of interest (primarily Calanus finmarchicus ), and their planktivorous predators (primarily euphusid spp), obtaining material for further taxonomic, physiological and biochemical studies.
In addition a number of process studies where undertaken: 1) Calanus egg production and naupliae development; 2) Influence of the food quality on Calanus egg production; 3) Oithona and Calanus naupliae feeding experiments; 4) Oithona egg production; 5) Lipids and Hormones; 6) C/N and stable isotope ratios.
The cruise track was chosen to allow sampling of a number of different provinces, namely the Icelandic and Greenland Shelves, the Reykjanes Ridge, and the deep basin. There were boat transfers on 24 April off Reykjavik to allow calibration of the EK500 systems.
